GAME THREAD: 4/1/21 Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers, 1:10 CDT

[Dave The Dastardly]

Sano's got an eye?

[wsnydes]

Not the result I expected from the Sano AB, but a welcome one nonetheless.

[ashbury]

C'mon Kep. We need you. This is a good time to forget March.

[Aggies7]

Sano already markedly improved 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sano takes a walk!

 

This bodes swell.

[kydoty]

That was a slider... at 90mph...

Pre-Tommy John surgery Liriano’s slider maxed out at 93 MPH and looked impossible to hit.

[Giles Ferrell]

Sano pulling an April fools prank on us with plate discipline?

[TFRazor]

I don't know, throwing a slider at 90+ may have contributed to him needing TJ

A rising tide of optimism

[SF Twins Fan]

Damn it feel good to be watching baseball again!

[MNT1996]

Garlick get ready

[TFRazor]

So Luis at 3rd? Now that Donaldson hurt himself.

[Diesel]

Good inning. No runs, but everybody seems locked in

[wsnydes]

 

C'mon Kep. We need you. This is a good time to forget March.

Unfortunately, it's still March.

 

April Fool!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice AB by Sano, fouling a 1-2 pitch instead of whiffing on it

 

Then laying off some good pitches and making Woodruff work another 7-8 pitches

[Aggies7]

Man, that big contract. Eek

[SF Twins Fan]

I don't understand how someone can consistently injure their calf muscles.

Woodruff already in mid-20s pitch count. Solid inning.

[KirbyDome89]

Hopefully it's only precautionary....

[Dave The Dastardly]

I hope the Brewers have the Wong guy leading off.

[Giles Ferrell]

I enjoyed that 1.5 seconds of the ball being ripped into the gap before the camera switched to his run where he pulled up with the injury

[Aggies7]

 

I don't understand how someone can consistently injure their calf muscles. 

I am certainly nowhere near a professional athlete, but I’m the same age as josh. Things just start hurting for no reason and take a while to heal when you hit the mid 30s

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cave!

 

(I am sure they are just being cautious with Donaldson)

[TFRazor]

 

Hopefully it's only precautionary....

Donaldson doesn't do precautionary calf injuries. No half measures

[TouchEmAllGuy]

We're in a 5-way tie for the division lead... sucks to lose Donaldson so early!

[Dave The Dastardly]

Jeez, Donaldson! Most expensive calf muscle in Twins history.

[ashbury]

Someone needs to tell Jake Cave, that beard just isn't working.

[mrtwinsfan]

Happy to see baseball again, with Fans, ive had cable for many years, does anyone know if all the road games are on Fox- Ballys sports go ? which im watching now, cant afford cable so gotta be happy with home games on radio and hopefully road games are all on the app deal, , Baseball is backwards in how they televise, Greedy people, GO TWINS !!  DONALDSON ??  CANT MAKE IT UP !!

“We will always have that”

 

— us, in July

Almost as bad as donaldson's calf
